A good impression goes a long way in selling your work. Small wonder then that even male celebrities have elaborate make-up teams to maintain their image. Similarly, When I click on your name to know about the person making me that delightful offer, I:

1. Expect a Photograph, not a "not yet posted" message
2. I would expect a trustworthy face (don't ask me how your heart does it, but most of the time, it does - ) a good photograph immediately secures a personal bond that stays.

A good photo would be full face and show the eyes clearly, so that the customer can "relate" to the image of the affiliate on the screen.

First, a good photo is one of yourself and not some other person, animation, avatar or hero.
It shouldn't contain other people as these cause distractions.
It should be a portrait that fits into the placeholder and not a full size.
You need to look at the camera so you will appear to look at everyone right in their face.
The focus is communication and not a model appearance.
You need to portray professionalism and dependability.

That said, consider what/how you feel seeing a blank placeholder and no room for imagination about how a person you are relating with looks! Whether it is just a social network like Facebook or even an email. I like Gmail because they were quick to realise the need for it.
SFI actually needs to include at least one other placeholder for a full-size photo in the a2a network.

You see the eCards are already making a great difference in communication because they portray a real personal feeling that someone cares and takes time for you. This is especially so when it comes with your own photo included in the design. But remember, if you have no account profile photo uploaded and approved then even such an eCard is rendered meaningless, unreal and impersonal as it comes with an empty placeholder.

For your new PSAs, they will be more encouraged to know there is a real person in the system to help them and not just a computer or robot. As a sponsor I am also encouraged knowing that a real serious and interested person signed up, not a paid-to-click robot or an internet tourist.

Let's all get serious and use the ever improved SFI system correctly!

A good SFI account photo really helps to personalize your pofile because it mirrors yourself as a person and as an individual. SFI is a business and having your own photo in your account is a great way to convince not only your co-affiliates but most especially when you are promoting/advertising your business on different ads and social networking sites, that you are a true person. If you don't give your profile that hook to convince people, then chances are, you will easily be more forgotten. Having a good photo will make you easier to be spotted primarily and a lot easier to be remembered. Besides, having a good photo can be even more important to make the right impression on ones you don’t know yet.

More power to you!

Great question!!

The easiest answer is.. You always want to make a good first impression.

Remember, you do NOT get the benefit of showing someone your personality or wit; because most of your contact with your affiliates is made through emails and chats via the internet. Right or wrong, people are going to make a judgement call about who you are based on what they see from a photo. If you look professional, they will assume you ARE professional. If you look goofy or funny, they will assume you have nothing to teach them; it's just human nature.

Need prove? Go to your a2a red tab and just look at the pictures. If you had to pick someone to help you succeed with your business, who would you select?

I took it a step further. I befriended over 100 people from different races, genders and countries. I have found that those with a professional picture seem to be the ones who are earning badges and growing their business.

Is it just a coincidence?

I'll let you and anyone who reads this post be the judge of that.

Remember, Success is a choice... So is failure.

Which way are you going choose?

It is important to have a good SFI account photo because this is a business and the photo should make people want to do business with you and feel they can trust you and that you will take this seriously.

A good photo is one that is a portrait photo of you and you alone. Since this is a business photo, don't include any pets or kids and don't wear anything sexy or silly.

You also don't want to look bored or half asleep.

Remember, this is a business that you want to make successful!!

Having a natural picture of yours in your profile eases the capturing of interest of your sign-ups. From their own discernment, you will be perceived as a real person portraying a real business in your mind and personality. Lots of businesses outside SFI promotes cloaking strategy to simply evade any problem in case they cannot solve. That's creating big fear among internet users and taking away their courage to try another business online. Look at the testimonials of real people inside this site SFI and you can discover that lots have already tried promising get-rich-quick scheme online, where they just end up frustrated because they felt left behind, especially when they cannot produce results. Try also to find who are behind those spamming emails and it is hard to trace who are they even if you already inside their site.

In short, letting your PSAs see who really you are from SFI to different social networking sites will boost their confidence to persist in SFI, no matter how challenging at their learning time.

Anastasia,

Our profile photo is one the first things your affiliates see upon coming to our pages.
As a TripleClicks member, it is the first photo your customers see.

I believe it is a good idea to have the same photo in both places, since the two are attached. Of course if your an ECA, a logo may work better if you have a lot of products, but only on the ECA page.

A good photo should show your face clearly, without a mean look. A smile, of course, will give a better impression than a frown or scowl. You want people to recognize you when they see your page. Good lighting is always helpful.

I really like what you have done with your photo: it is unique and a close-up. Nice.

I have the same photos for my FB, TripleClicks Member page and SFI page. (I may change it after everything I have read here though.)
However, I have created a logo for my ECA page.

I hope you have found this answer helpful.

A Good SFI photo is very important , especially for new PSA because you and your photo are the first thing they see most often and by that you represent their future image during the program. There for, your photo should show character, dedication and results.

Make effort to do a good PORTRAIT (not selfie, not a random image) that is going to give hope and vision of the PSA for what they are going to get in future if they work and keep working. Very simple!

A good photo reflects who you are and what kind of business person you are. I don't think your photo should be played up to show something that you are not. A natural color photo that is simple and not with a lot of whistles and bells is best.
If you were to be met on the street you would not look all fancied up so your photo
should not look like that. Natural that says who you are is best.
